Although the league went on as usual this weekend, all eyes were on the Carabao Cup final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. [Just love to read] free novel portal []

Tottenham Hotspur fans sang praises to head coach Redknapp Sr. on the Internet, and some fans even mentioned that if Tottenham Hotspur can win the League Cup, a bronze statue of Old Redknapp will be erected outside the White Hart Lane stadium.

It's no wonder that Tottenham fans are now so supportive and adorative of the old Redknapp, who has done a good job. Harry Redknapp accepted an offer to take charge of Tottenham Hotspur in October last year.

At that time, Tottenham were in dire straits, sitting bottom of the Premier League and suffering the worst start in the club's history, with only two points from eight games and in danger of relegation.

The elder Redknapp happens to be known for his ability to stay in relegation, and he is well-connected in England and adept at dealing with all kinds of relationships. When Portsmouth was on the verge of relegation, Ray took over to save the 'Pompeii Army' and led them to the top of the FA Cup last season.

Tottenham Hotspur's hierarchy took a fancy to Redknapp's almost magical firefighting ability and invited him to coach. Now, the league has reached 26 rounds, nearly two-thirds of the season, and Tottenham Hotspur's ranking in the Premier League has risen from the bottom to 14th, although it is not completely out of the relegation zone, but this ranking is enough to reassure Tottenham fans. Not to mention that in the Carabao Cup, Tottenham Hotspur made it all the way to the final, and considering that their opponents Manchester United are almost certain to qualify for next season's Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur will be able to qualify for next season's Europa League even if they do not win the Carabao Cup.

The old Redknapp's firefighting ability can be seen, and the English media is already talking about it, if Tottenham Hotspur can beat Manchester United to win the title, the old Redknapp will write a legend that future generations will worship.

Although the opponent in the final is Manchester United, however, Tottenham Hotspur fans are very confident in the team's victory, they say they are not afraid of Manchester United, you must know that Tottenham Hotspur advanced all the way to the final, it can be said that it is five levels and six generals, all the way is not easy, they have eliminated Liverpool 4-2, obviously this game gave Tottenham fans great confidence, in addition, in the league and Manchester United for the first time this season, Tottenham also drew 0-0 with Manchester United.

Tottenham fans are full of confidence, and Tottenham Hotspur's recent form and record are also good, but this time to challenge Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final, the old Redknapp will not dare to slack off.

Fools know what Yang Fan's current state looks like. Tottenham Hotspur will have to withstand the crazy impact of Yang Fan if they want to win Manchester United, and it will not be easy to not concede a goal.

In the pre-game preparations, the elder Redknapp listed Yang Fan as the object that needs to be taken care of, and even raised Manchester United's current results to Yang Fan's own credit. Redknapp has studied Manchester United's game footage this season and believes that Cristiano Ronaldo's role has weakened, but Yang Fan's role has become more prominent. This is different from the current view of the mainstream media of the Premier League, although the English media also praised Yang Fan, but the general opinion is that Yang Fan cannot be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo for the time being.

"Sir Alex Ferguson clearly made a good deal. "At that time, Manchester United spent 35 million pounds to bring in Yang Fan, and everyone said it was expensive, but now they know that Manchester United has made a lot of money." Looking at Yang Fan's goal count, this is really a cost-effective reinforcement. ”

As the manager of Manchester United's upcoming opponent in the final, Redknapp praised Yang Fan like this.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Redknapp's praise of Yang Fan sounds very unpleasant to a person.

What does your own manager mean when he says this?

This person is Robbie Keane, who transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to Liverpool for £24 million last summer, and only scored a total of 5 goals in Liverpool in half a season. When Robbie Keane was at Liverpool, each goal was worth £4.8 million!

Therefore, the topic that Robbie Keane can't listen to others talk about now is about the cost performance of goals, who would have expected that head coach Redknapp would not open any pot and mention this stubble, which made Robbie Keane very unhappy. In addition to this, the reason for the unhappiness is that his head coach said Yang Fan so powerful, isn't this to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige?

It is precisely because Yang Fan's goal in Manchester United is like hemp that it is even more difficult for Robbie Keane to look bad when he was in Liverpool, so Keane also 'hates' Yang Fan in his heart. This time, Tottenham and Manchester United faced off in the League Cup final, Robbie Keane was holding back his strength to prove that he was not a parallel commodity in this game, he had a dream, at least, at least in this game, he wanted to prove that he was better than Yang Fan!

※※※※※※※

Of course, Yang Fan didn't know that Robbie Keane had 'hated' him, and he held his breath to try it out against himself in the game. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, such a challenge would only make his blood boil. Although Robbie Keane is not as famous as before, you must know that when Yang Fan was still playing wild ball on the loess playground, Robbie Keane had already become famous and famous in football at a young age.

Redknapp praised Yang Fan's words, he also heard it, but he didn't take it seriously, just laughed it off, Yang Fan remembered that he had a holiday with this gentleman, at the beginning of the season during the Charity Shield game, Manchester United and Portsmouth had a strict brawl in the game, when Portsmouth's head coach was Redknapp, after the game, the old coach lashed out and criticized Yang Fan, bluntly said that Yang Fan's behavior should be permanently banned.

Cardiff Millennium Stadium, the venue for the Cardiff Cup final, is the national stadium of Wales in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. It was once the largest stadium in the UK with a capacity of 74,600 spectators, making it the second stadium in Europe and the largest in the world to have a canopy.

At this point, just three minutes into the game, the entire stadium stands were in flames, with Tottenham Hotspur fans cheering loudly and Manchester United fans booing, booing and invecting their displeasure.

Manchester United's players are surrounding the referee of the match, Bol. They were protesting.

Just now, Tottenham Hotspur full-back Gareth Bale broke through into the box with the ball, he was brought to the ground by Manchester United centre-back Evans, and referee Bol awarded a penalty, which was not counted, and he immediately showed a red card to Evans for the foul.

The United players and fans quit and felt they had enough reason to question the referee's decision. Rio Ferdinand looked angry and was protesting to the referee that Evans had tackled the ball first, which was a good defence, while goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was complaining to the referee that he had questioned Bale for faking a fall.

The protests of the Manchester United people are doomed to be futile, and the referee's decision has already been made, so it cannot be changed. Bol also showed a yellow card to the agitated Evra as a warning.

Knocked-down Bell lay on the sidelines. He is being treated by the team doctor. The elder Redknapp looked nervous, he admired the Welsh youngster and even ignored the so-called 'Bale's curse' and chose to treat Bale in this important game. The so-called 'Bale's curse' refers to the fact that in the game where Bale played, it was strange that Tottenham did not win. This is why many fans call him "inverted frieze" ("bale" also means bad luck and disaster in English slang). Even the Daily Telegraph's football column was headlined "The Bell Curse".

Gareth Bale was expected from an early age, and at the age of 16 he was regarded as the greatest talent in Welsh football history, and was always compared to his Welsh predecessor, Manchester United star Ryan Giggs. He showed extraordinary talent in football from an early age, and at the age of 9 he was sent by Southampton FC to train at his satellite club, and Bale's physique, stamina and technical level gradually improved significantly. On 17 April 2006, Bale made his debut for Southampton against Millwall at the second-youngest age in the 2005/2006 Championship season at the age of 16 years and 275 days. During his limited playing time at Southampton, the young Bale showed his footballing talent to everyone and attracted the attention and favor of many big clubs.

In the summer of 2007, Tottenham Hotspur beat Manchester United, Arsenal and many other giants to buy the superstar for £5 million.

On 26 August 2007, Bale made his league debut for Tottenham in a game away to Manchester United. He then scored in his second league game on 1 September as Tottenham drew 3-3 with Fulham and scored his first goal for Tottenham. He then delighted Tottenham fans with a free-kick in his 156th north London derby against Arsenal when he took a left-footed left-footed curl into the near corner. Then he scored again against Middlesbrough, with three goals making the 18-year-old one of Europe's hottest stars at the time. The young Welsh player has officially qualified as one of Europe's most popular young talents.

Bale's footballing talent is undeniable, and Redknapp appreciates Bale and gives him as many opportunities as he can. This time, Bale rewarded it with a great watch for such a heavyweight bout. A penalty also caused the opposing central defender to be sent off, and the game only lasted three minutes...... Redknapp even thought that if they couldn't win against Manchester United like this, it would really be unreasonable.

Bale didn't look very serious, and he was not experiencing any discomfort as he jogged on the sidelines under the guidance of the team doctor, which also made Redknapp breathe a sigh of relief.

Evans, who was sent off with a red card, hung his head, the young man looked confused, he was completely shaken by Bale's fast cadence just now, and when he came out to tackle, Bale just knocked the football out, and it ended up shoveling Bale's foot.

'There's nothing wrong with penalties. Evans did tackle Bale and the red card wasn't too much of a problem. Lineker said.

'However, in terms of the balance of the game, perhaps it would have seemed more appropriate for Bol to show Evans a yellow card. After all, the game was only three minutes into the game. Red cards, penalties, the rest of the game, Manchester United will face a lot of difficulties. ”

※※※※※※※

Ferguson, who saw this scene from the sidelines, was furious, and only three minutes into the game, the team's central defender was sent off.

Ferguson approached the fourth official, who was protesting the referee's unfair enforcement, insisting that Evans had not committed a foul and that it was a wrong decision. The fourth official looked stern, reminding and warning Ferguson not to talk nonsense, otherwise he would have to ask the referee to come over. Seeing this, Mike Ferran quickly persuaded Ferguson to stay in the dugout. The team was awarded a penalty and the centre-back was sent off, which was unlucky enough, and if the backbone of the team, Alex Ferguson, was also sent to the stands by the referee, Manchester United would have almost surrendered early in this game.

"Red card, penalty! It's terrible...... Look at Ferguson's face...... Poor Evans, who was given and reused today, only to leave the pitch so early in such a way, he couldn't keep up with Bale's pace and speed, he was played around by the opponent, and the final tackle was brought down, and there was no problem with the penalty kick and the red card. ”

"Bell has made a difference!" It seems that Bale's curse only works in the league and has no effect on the League Cup?" Mortensen also humored.

Lennon was ready to take the penalty, but Robbie Keane found him and the Irishman told Lennon that he wanted to take it.

"But" Lennon also wanted to take the penalty, he wanted to say that he was the penalty taker that the manager had arranged regularly.

"Let me punish!" Robbie Keane said, "After the game, I'm in for a treat!"

Keane said so, Lennon couldn't refuse, he could only nod in agreement, he didn't covet Keane's treat, but guessed that Keane wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to break the goal drought, and he would fulfill Keane. You know, after returning to Tottenham during the winter transfer, Keane has not scored in an official match, and now Keane is under a lot of pressure. So, Lennon plans to help Keane.

Seeing Lennon nod in agreement, Keane was overjoyed. He took the football from Lennon's hand and walked towards the penalty spot.

"Robbie Keane is coming to take the penalty......"

Old Redknapp looked at the field with some doubts, Keane was not the first penalty taker he arranged, how could Keane take the penalty. However, although Redknapp was puzzled, he did not make a statement, it seems that Lennon conceded the penalty right, as long as the players discuss it on the field, who will take the penalty, there is no need to follow the fixed arrangement, and Keane is a striker, and the striker will take the penalty, it is not unavoidable.

Robbie Keane put the ball on the penalty spot and stepped back to shoot.

Referee Bol glanced at Keane, meaning that he was ready. Keane nodded, okay.

After the referee's whistle, Keane started to run, paused for a moment in the final move, and then shot to the left side of the goal, where Van der Sar was shaken off by Keane's last-minute move and pounced in the opposite direction.

“gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal！”

"The goal is in!1:0!Keane converts the penalty!Tottenham Hotspur are now one goal ahead of Manchester United!'

'Tottenham are ahead! It was a surprise, and the bigger surprise was that United were sent off and the game was not easy. ”

There was a huge cheer from the stands at the Millennium Stadium, with Tottenham fans chanting Keane's name and others chanting Bale's name. Keane played three games for Tottenham Hotspur before, did not score a goal, and Bale has rumors of 'Bale's curse', and now, these two people, Bale made a penalty and caused one of the opponent's central defenders to be sent off, and Keane also scored a penalty to break the goal drought.

For Tottenham fans, this is a welcome welcome.

'Manchester United's luck was just terrible. ”

'In the pre-match draw, Manchester United went to the South dressing room and now it seems that that's why they were so unlucky. A narrator said.

"Is the South Locker Room Spell working?"

At the Millennium Stadium, there is a famous 'spell' about the South Dressing Room, which Manchester United use today is considered a bad omen, and in the dozen or so finals played at this stadium, the team that has used this dressing room has never won.

So, this creates an interesting situation where the teams who draw the draw in the North dressing room will cheer when the final is played in this stadium, and they will have an inexplicable psychological advantage from the start. And the players of the team drawn to the South locker room, some may not believe in this superstitious thing, but there are also people who seem to be worried about it.

No, just three minutes into the game, United were sent off at a centre-back and given a penalty, which gave Tottenham a double lead in terms of score and numbers. This has cast a shadow on the hearts of many Manchester United, could it be that the 'South Dressing Room Curse' is working?

A centre-back was sent off and United had to make a substitution, with Nemanja Vidic, who had been put on the bench with a slight cold, coming on as a substitute, replacing Anderson.

And taking the opportunity of this substitution adjustment, Ferguson also called Yang Fan to the sidelines and taught him face-to-face.

The team's difficult moments require stars such as Yang Fan to step up.
